I can understand their reasoning. Not being able to participate in Holy Week is “killing me.”
My heart aches. There has to be another option besides watching Catholic Mass on TV. This makes me a protestant: Pretending the host is really Christ.
I see the situation as: how strong is your faith? Are you willing to go to any lengths to have your soul fed, or do you passively sit back and wring your hands?
The ache in my heart won’t let me be passive. My soul is crying.
A little inconvenience does not turn a Catholic into a protestant.
My heart is broken as well. If my church had services I would go. I have been called many vile things for saying so. It is Ok for me to risk my life and my family by going to work in the hospital with inadequate PPE but if I wish to go to Church during Holy Week I am the lowest of low.
